Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 545 - 398: Gaining the Mysterious Realm

As the heavens and earth first opened, and life was born, there too remained endless mysteries. These mysteries are merely the rules of the universe, the fundamental truths of all things. Some mysteries have been perceived by those with both virtue and talent, creating great paths, while most still remain elusive, scattered across the world, waiting for those destined to uncover them.

Breaking through the sea of flames to strike the Wind Tiger—this task is incredibly difficult. As that spear descended, the fire spread across the sky, seeming to consume the entire world. Luo Chen knew well that if he rashly approached, he would be turned to ashes in an instant. To break through the sea of flames, there is only one secret—that is speed, speed like the wind and lightning, so quick the flames cannot touch him.

The five elements generate and overcome each other, serving as the foundation of existence. Yet, there is something that transcends the five elements—lightning. The speed of lightning, as fast as a flash, can instantly traverse the sea of flames and reach the enemy’s heart. Although Luo Chen did not master lightning techniques, his Earth Soul had once refined heavenly lightning and grown strong, and within the Cold Rain Spear lay a Wind Thunder Feather.

In that moment, a sense of clarity filled his mind. He decided to harness the power of heavenly lightning within his Earth Soul and the Wind Thunder Feather within his Cold Rain Spear, using the birth of lightning through soul and borrowing the momentum of the gun, to break through the sea of flames. He took a deep breath, completely immersing his mind in the Cold Rain Spear, feeling the hidden power of wind and lightning within the spear’s body.

Under his mind’s guidance, the power of heavenly lightning within the Earth Soul gradually merged into the Cold Rain Spear, converging with the power of the Wind Thunder Feather. Luo Chen felt a great force surging within the spear, as if it was about to break free. He gripped the spear tightly, feeling the wild and unrestrained force.

At that moment, Wind Tiger’s Spear of Burning Void had already drawn near. Luo Chen’s gaze sharpened, and with the wondrous sensing of the fetal breath state, he accurately captured the flaw in Wind Tiger’s spear momentum. He took a deep breath, thrusting forward with the Cold Rain Spear, the spear tip flickering with lightning light, seemingly tearing through the void.

The speed of this spear was indescribable, only a flash of lightning was seen as Luo Chen had already traversed the sea of flames, appearing before Wind Tiger. A trace of astonishment flickered in Wind Tiger’s eyes, he didn’t expect Luo Chen to be able to decipher his Spear of Burning Void. However, it was already too late, Luo Chen’s Cold Rain Spear had pierced through his chest.

Luo Chen withdrew the long spear, quietly gazing at Wind Tiger fallen on the ground. He knew, though he had won this battle, it was a narrow victory. If not for the wondrous sensing of the fetal breath state and the heavenly lightning power within the Earth Soul, he might have already been consumed by the sea of flames. Taking a deep breath, he retracted the Cold Rain Spear, and turned to walk into the distance.

Under the vast field of the sky, a clear light suddenly flashed in Luo Chen’s eyes. The momentary fetal breath state was like an illusion, disappearing in an instant, and the seemingly endless mysteries of the universe also drifted away with this insight, gently returning to the world, gathered by the slowly closing gap of yin and yang.

This insight into the fetal breath was entirely different from the experiences in the martial arena. Luo Chen did not acquire new mysteries, but amidst this quiet world, he found tranquility and enlightenment. He skillfully integrated the lightning techniques comprehended during Earth Soul wandering with the technique of borrowing the momentum of the gun, mastered them together, thereby taking another step on the path of spear technique.

With the disappearance of the fetal breath state, day and night separated once more, and time began to flow again. Wind Tiger came surging with overwhelming flames, the Spear of Burning Void clearly visible, its fierce momentum pointing straight at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, his demeanor calm, his gaze serene like water. His Earth Soul traveled to his right eye, half of it flying out to connect with the Cold Rain Spear in his hand. In that instant, Luo Chen felt the world around him, himself within it, and the Cold Rain Spear in his hand had changed utterly.

He gripped the Cold Rain Spear tightly, yet it seemed as if he was standing amidst cold rain. Luo Chen could clearly feel the magical feather hidden within the spear, containing the power of heavenly lightning, attracting and connecting with the lightning techniques within his Earth Soul. This miraculous feeling filled him with confidence for the forthcoming battle.

And at this moment, Wind Tiger’s Spear of Burning Void was already drawing close, less than ten steps away. Luo Chen felt the fierce spear momentum and the blazing flames, but he was undaunted. He mobilized the forces of water and fire within his body, channeled them from the depths of his belly into his legs, swiftly coursing through his meridians, finally entering the Cold Rain Spear. This maneuver not only enhanced his strength but also spurred the heavenly lightning power within the spear.

Luo Chen stared at the approaching Spear of Burning Void, his mind crystal clear. He knew this was the first real test of his new realm of spear technique and an important moment for surpassing himself and challenging his limits. Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his mindset to its optimal state, tightly gripping the Cold Rain Spear, fully prepared.

As Wind Tiger approached, the light in Luo Chen’s eyes burned ever brighter. Just as the Spear of Burning Void was about to touch him, he suddenly swung the Cold Rain Spear to meet it. The spear tip flickered with lightning light, intertwined with the forces of water and fire, forming a dazzling radiance.
